Overview

• Kandice Grace, 32, was arrested Sept. 29 and charged with second-degree murder and second-degree cruelty to children, and she is being held in the Fulton County Jail.
• Officers say they found 7-year-old Mazi Simmons unresponsive in April with his head caught in a back-seat window, and he was pronounced dead at a hospital.
• An arrest warrant alleges Grace was passed out in the driver’s seat as two younger siblings sat beside Mazi in the back.
• Search-warranted toxicology testing later returned positive results for opioids and THC, according to the warrant.
• A witness told police Grace left the children in the car the night before and saw the boy’s head hanging from the window the next morning, and officials say the autopsy will determine the cause and manner of death.
